Thanks for writing difftool; I find it quite useful.  I tried it with
tkdiff, and noticed that it shows the 'merge preview' window even though it
isn't doing a merge.  If a user with unstaged changes were to carelessly
click the 'save and exit' button, his changes could be lost.  So I think
it's a good idea to stop the merge preview window from showing up under
difftool.  To do that I think you just have to remove the '-o "$MERGED"'
option to tkdiff.
